title: Symmetry and crystallography: new facilities in the graphic software MANOSK.
abstract: The new routine SYMCRY of the graphics program MANOSK is described in this paper. It is designed to analyze interactions between molecular structures related by crystalline symmetry. The symetric objects can be described in the same referential, to be manipulated as an entity, or in a referential of their own, to undergo correlative real-time movements (via the dials), given the symmetry constraints. Crystal packing can be observed, and any command of the main software MANOSK is available for the symmetric objects, including storage of the coordinates of symmetrics in the final orientation.
